#97 Scarves

White People’s body temperatures do not operate on logical or consistent levels, and because of this white people are often forced to wear clothing combinations that might seem strange or illogical. One popular example is the performance vest which solves the age old problem of cold chest hot arms. Another common combination is wearing shorts with a sweatshirt which helps bring about comfort when your upper body is chilly but your lower half is sweltering. But without a doubt, the one piece of clothing that helps to regulate white body temperature in all situations is the scarf.

During winter months, it’s no surprise to find white people all bundled up with scarves around their neck – it just makes sense. But even as the weather warms up and the other layers start to fall off, the scarf remains.

It is not uncommon to see a white person in jeans, a sweater and a scarf. In fact, it’s not a rare occurance to see a white person in a t-shirt, jeans, and a scarf. Thats right. A thin cotton t-shirt paired with a scarf to enable maximum temperature control in bars and places with air conditioning

But not all white people wear the scarves for temperature reasons. A well made scarf can be an essential part of a white ensemble, allowing for all-important differentiation from other white people wearing the exact same clothes as them. Thus allowing them to be picked out of the crowd for dating or mocking purposes

“I like the guy in the white American Apparel shirt with the glasses.”

“Oh yeah, you’re right. He does look smarter and more political than the other guys. He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive in general. You should totally date him.”

Along with making up a key part of the white wardrobe, scarves also function as a vital pillar of the white gift economy. Due to their relative ease of creation, many white people (especially women) like to knit scarves for friends and lovers. For this reason alone, if you find yourself needing a new scarf but not a long term relationship, dating a white woman might be the easiest and most cost effective solution.

i think Gavin McInnes from Street Carnage said it best (i paraphrase) – when you wear a keffiyeh you might be saying – “hey I hate Bush and support the Palestinians” but you are also saying you hate rape victims, jews, beer and infidels..you know like the dumb ass infidel wearing the damn thing.

I use the scarves as tampons and toilet paper. I like to use white scarves to determine the color of my discharge and BM.
I also use scarves to bind the Rawandan children I use as servants. I tie them at night so they can’t escape. I use different scarves from the ones I wipe my ass and pussy with….usually.

The keffiyeh is also useful for white people to wrap around their faces jihad-style when throwing rocks at Starbucks or performing other edgy acts of radical “speaking truth to power” at events like political conventions and anti-globalization rallies. After all when you’re such a highly sought dissident running from the system you just fucked up so badly you don’t want anything like being thrown into a gulag getting in the way of posting your radical gestures on Indymedia. Bandanas also serve this purpose, preferably black so that people will affix the prefix “anarcho-” in front of your grassroots, solidarity movement that you founded with three other Swarthmore students.

I think that style & fashion are stupid; it’s “planned obsolescense” designed to extract a constant flow of money from us for crap that we don’t need. (My fiancee doesn’t agree and insists on buying my clothes; wants me to give away every piece of clothing that I owned prior to meeting her; I resist and tell her that “people in Japan are starving.”)

My view of scarves is pragmatic: while in the army I was stationed in Korea, which got down to at least 10 degrees fahrenheit during the winter. I also trained in Alaska in February where it got down to minus 37. I learned that a scarf traps a lot of heat and you don’t feel the need to “hunch” your shoulders. Much more comfortable. –Jeff in Houston, Texas

I would love to be a scarf-wearing white person, but I can’t figure out how to tie them so they hang right. Mine just bunch up under my chin, or they hang so loose that the wind catches them. Clearly, these are the complicated trials of being a white person.

I wear my scarf in the sweltering heat of my local indie coffeehouse while listening to NPR through over-sized headphones and typing unceasingly on my MacBook Pro. I periodically adjust the scarf’s position on my neck in order to give others the impression that my ability to work efficiently is highly dependent upon my own personal comfort level.

Here is yet another aspect of whiteness I have yet to encounter. I have known only two people in my whole life who have owned and worn a scarf. I myself have never owned or worn one. Certainly I have never seen anyone in my circle of family and friends with a whole bunch of scarves or who places a high value on (or even discusses) scarves. Scarves are things I see in the mall and wonder “What retard would spend money on that crap? Why do they display this crap for sale?” Maybe if I lived in the eastern US I would have a different opinion, maybe. But I don’t, so I don’t.

AHAHAHAHAH Hey, that post woks for a lot of black people too these days. It’s called having ‘scarf swag’ and many a photo has been snapped of Jay-Z wearing them in a myriad of styles. In addition, I’m black and I knit ALL THE TIME!

so true! except for those that just came back from birth right, i guess they have reason. but hell, i’m brown and most of this stuff is dead on for me too — i guess i am white washed? no, i’m jsut a liberal, college educated, upper middle class new yorker. yum

Oh man, I definitely rocked that look. And I probably had a scarf on, too. Oh so lame! I tried to bring back the pashmina this winter, but only the aging upper-middle class hippies were buying it. Oh well…

I just caught myself doing this the last couple of months. I got a wonderful extra long scarf (in New York!) and love it SO much, that when I go inside I take off my jacket – but keep the scarf on. ahhahaha magnificent.

65 degrees in Sacramento
Girl crossing the street this morning on my way into work wearing a jean mini skirt, sandal heels, long sleeve shirt, heavy scarf. She looked cold. Maybe if she wrapped the scarf around her legs it might help?

I was with you on this one, but I was disappointed that you did not mention the Southern California “eskiho”. All through college I would see these young women wearing denim minis with their ugg boots, because nothing’s more logical than wanting sweltering feet and a cool breeze on your thighs.

This one is kind of lame, I haven’t worn a scarf regularly unless it’s been cold and I’ve had to be in a dress up stage. Threw away my keffiyeh a while back too, didn’t quite go for the Yassir Arafat look. These days I peg anyone wearing a keffiyeh who isn’t also carrying an AK-47 as some kind of pretentious idiot, which is probably how I always looked in one anyway. I also voted for Gore in 2000 so maybe I’m on the upswing at last.

Um I would have to say as far as religion the negrozoid race is definitely more involved because they are too dumb to just believe in themselves.And what does religion have to do with anything?silly negro.ur father tought u better,o wait….

In Anchorage, Alaska, it’s scarf weather for about six months out of the year. In Seattle, you’re lucky to get six days of scarf weather a year. Yet the proportion of scarf-wearers is exactly the opposite of what the climate dictates. Strange how these things work out.

Long ago I observed (perhaps incorrectly… please discuss at your leisure) that scarves served two important for the self-appointed young intelligentsia. (FWIW, my vantage point was the University of Michigan’s “diag.” Yes, I realize that’s a safety school for some of the readers here, but just run with it.) They were (and probably still are):

* They give one a high-fashion, vaguely “Euro” look. They suggest that someone has, oh, maybe spent lots of time in Paris.

* Look for this when you next get a chance. When among the salt-of-the-earth people (perhaps as a, again, self-appointed leader of the terminally oppressed), a scarf signifies to other slumming elitists that you’re really wealthy and cultured. Wouldn’t want that to be in doubt, would we? 🙂

Reasonable? I agree that this isn’t one of the strongest posts, but there’s no doubt that scarves are a certain kind of whitey.

hahaha! Cold chest/hot arms! I love it. Don’t forget, when it’s chilly outside just wearing a scarf can signal to others that you are aware of the temperature and that you are dealing with it…by wearing a scarf.

I think this is a regional one as well. West coast, you really don’t wear scarves unless it’s *cold*. And no one wears them properly — the U.S. generally has the short kind of scarves you sort of flop around once. In Europe, they’re twice as long, you fold them in half then pull the ends thru the loop.

I saw more creative and fashion type wearing of scarves in Europe than I ever did on the west coast (where it’s basically nonexsistent). Maybe this is an East coast thing.

Anyway, this one feels off. White people have little to no fashion sense, if I see one wearing one with style, chances are if they are white they are European.

Since scarves can be folded into a small size I often take other peoples scarves to the bathroom and rub them back and forth between my legs (bare assed of course) and then put them back. It’s hilarious to see your friends mom sniffing the air suspisciously as she is bundling up to go outside.

Once again, a great post and so true. Another one that I think should be added, “Being busy”. White people are so in love with the idea of being busy, a non-busy white person is a point of great shame to the whole race. I live in Africa and Africans never cease to ask me why white people are so obsessed with convincing them as to how busy they are

Has anyone else noticed how fucking stupid and ridiculous the comments to each entry are? If its about dogs, the first response is to give commentary about Micheal Vick. A bunch IDIOTS feel the idea to give a little anecdote or repeat something they read like its talk radio. This is not a FUCKING TALK RADIO SHOW…

Yahushua, a Hebrew/Yahudim, rejected corruption in general, and focusing on what wasn’t important, (for example, making everything about race/ethnicity/cultural differences, instead of what is common to us all as humans) slander and gossip, judgment of others, and idol worship (which includes elevating others or self to a level of worship, worshipping according to the traditions of those who worship false idols, and speaking the name of a false deity).

NO retard jews get nose jobs, they dont have “hook”noses…i guess you just wanted someone to respond to you, but im sure in real life, being 14 isnt very fun….having all those hormones really mess you up, its ok you will grow out of it….

Matt, did you ever think she may have been a Catholic school girl? They are forced to wear skirts in the winter. That rule was probably invented by someone who used to be a Catholic school boy. But that doesn’t explain why some of those Catholic school girls choose to roll their uniform skirts up shorter…when they go to an all-girls school. Oh, wait. I get it.

Last! That’s how I want to leave this world, so I’ll be first in the next. Why doesn’t anyone understand that in today’s world? People only care about accumulating material possessions and being better than other people. For example, some people have a plethora of scarves when one is sufficient.

your absolutely right becca, he must not be very white, i wouldnt be caught dead with anything burberry, or LV, only hookers wear LV.

Also, while I do have old vintage sunglasses, I do own a pair of 345 dollar sunglasses from oliver peoples, but since they dont show any logo, people will think they are like 5 bucks, but i know they arent, and it makes me feel good lol.

You may have missed the point. The whole idea is NOT to do something that will “get you in a jam.” Then “you will be sure” NOT to rot except when the atoms and molecules that make up your physical body are recycled as you decompose after death.

its kind of like the lord of the rings movie before lord of the rings movie, and instead of a ring its a princess, and instead of hobits, its giants, and instead of ugly main characters, the main characters are beautiful, and instead of it being in 3 parts, its just one movie, and it has billy crystal and robin wright penn, and the guy from “Robbin Hood Men in Tights”….so I guess its not like lord of the rings…..even though the lord of the rings book came out way before…..hmm bad analogy

You know, by far, the majority of Muslims and keffiyeh producers are not terrorist bombers, but many wear keffiyehs. So I suppose it’s acceptable to judge others based on how they wear their clothing. Oh yeah. I forgot that’s what most Americans do, with the encouragement of mainstream advertizing and media.

You’re losing your readers with all these extra “features.” Dance with what brought you here – stuff white people like. One thing per day that white people like. Not “white people in the news;” it’s not funny.

It seems to me that you are anti-anyone-who-isn’t-white. I believe I saw you on one of the History channel’s documentaries on white supremacy groups, most of whom claim some tie to Christianity. I do believe that the fundamental basis for Christianity has something to do with a man named Yahushua, (or as most like to say, Jesus) who came to teach us the right way to treat our fellow humans. Not with judgmental, hate-filled accusations, but with acceptance and love. Genetically, there is no basis for race. There are more differences between the DNA of a man and woman of the same “race” than there is between two men of the same “race” or two women of the same “race.” And for the record, when Yahushua spoke about not inter-marrying with Samaritans, He was advising against marrying a person who worshipped idols, (Samaritans followed a “pagan” religion) which is a violation of the Commandment not to worship other deities or anything other than the true Creator, Yahua. Many white supremacy groups have warped this into meaning that a person should not marry outside their race.

I think her lack of class as evidenced by her “potty” mouth explains how she may have gotten in a condition that necessitates the use of scarves for tampons and frequent monitoring for unusual discharges.

Wait, I’m confused. Who’s the supremacist? I haven’t heard such bigotry since Hitler. I suppose you’re one of those people who thinks that he wasn’t responsible for killing millions of innocent people, and that astronauts didn’t land on the moon. Why don’t you stop hating others so much and love yourself enough give up your spot in hell and secure your eternity in paradise?

I’m not exactly sure if I’ve grasped your “point,” but I’m Jewish (although not a member of the liberal Left beast) and have always hated people who played the whole “hate whites” game.

I’m only a second gen American, but seriously, who the shit cares if you are white and your great great great great grandfather owned a slave? It was horrible that he did it, but what does that have to do with you? I don’t blame Germans of today for killing my great grandparents. Their grandparents were the assholes.

Punishing current whites for what whites did in the past is arbitrary. And people who bring up entrenched “invisible racism” conveniently make a non-falsifiable claim that must be accepted as stated (or else you prove the point that you’re a racist) and that punishes every white person for what some white people may believe.

This post is spot on regionally, but I can see how some readers cannot relate. I am an educated young liberal artist living in the Lower East Side frequently visiting friends in Williamsburg and shopping in Chelsea. I am not white racially but as a Jew I think keffiyat are anti-semetic. I see more examples of the hipster scarf phenomenon as I sit here typing on my iPhone than I can stomache. Unleash your fury comment whores and haters; but why bother reading this blog if you so strongly disagree?

double-disagree, I get loads of compliments on the scarf-bikini combo I sported yesterday. But maybe they were responding to my moccassin booties, you know the ones with the furry pom-poms on them soooooo c-u-u-u-u-ute!

Check out a blog that isn’t a patent rip off of this one…it actually was started before this one! I enjoy some of the links here but they are just aping this great site…be original people – like:http://www.theweeklywad.com

Hi!
Interesting post, and an interesting picture that makes a statement crossing cultural biases.
Scarves are a signature of muslim women all over the world, whether they are white, black or in between.
They wear them around their neck (in Pakistan) or on their head (middle east and here) and around their shoulders and head (in Europe).
There are hundreds of methods of draping a scarf, check out all the hijab sites.
Thanks for the picture, which connects a white person with a Palestinian/Arabian traditionally male scarf, worn by a woman.
Best Regards

This article is a break from the great tradition of SWPL. The site is at its heart a satire of liberalism. But where is that here? You make some good points, but you have strayed too far from the true genius of the site.

I wear my keyboard scarf where ever I go, just in case I need to take it off, lay it on the ground and tickle the ivorys to impress the ‘chicks’. Notice I did not mention the ebony keys, I never touch the ebony keys, except when no one is looking.

I saw this today, and HAD to share it with everyone. It is just a brilliantly researched and written list of inconsistencies with several of Obama’s stories. I think it should be done for ALL three candidates, but I guess this is a good way to start at finally looking at the candidates with some honesty.

Just thinking… as I sit at my desk wearing a t-shirt and a keffiyeh that my husband brought from Afghanistan that I thought was so original… why DO I wear this? Believe it or not, I actually found a possible reason. Like other white people who read this blog, I’m a big Stephen Colbert fan and often create my book list with his guest authors, like Nora Ephron, in mind. Maybe I am trying to protect my neck from aging??? LOL. Also, I should add, it upsets me that trendy shops in the mall and Urban Outfitters are selling imposters of my keffiyeh.

The scarf thing is oh too true. I think back to times when I have had to interview for something and I threw the scarf in to complete “the look”-the smart edge look that makes you seem more sensitive to changes in the environment which in turn translates to sensitivity to the changing world.

Just to keep in mind – if your girl knits (like me) and follows knitting superstitions (also, like me), she will not knit her man a scarf until you are married**. So you’d better check first before you expect a scarf from your white girl. So you may be better off just asking her to buy you one as a gift. especially if it’s from another country!
** why? just one of those superstitions passed down by our knitting grandmas. basically, if you knot for a man before you are married to him, it’s bad luck and he’ll leave you and take the scarf you made him.

ha
when i lived in DC, I rocked my brightly colored, internationally collected scarf collection and got lots of funny stairs. now that I am back in brooklyn, I fit right it. But it was fun to make all those suits uncomfortable with too much color.

“Oh yeah, you’re right. He does look smarter and more political than the other guys. He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive in general. You should totally date him.”

Ha! This quote needs to be in a movie. As-a-matter-of-fact, everything on this blog needs to be incorporated into a movie.

phenomenal – of or pertaining to phenomena.
of the nature of a phenomenon; cognizable by the senses.

where did I go wrong you savvy liberal artist?

and when did “liberal artist” become a respectable career? You could probably be the most useless being on earth. If you disappeared, nobody would care. In fact, most people would cheer. If “uneducated” garbage men went missing, people would actually be upset.

Let me bring to light the smug, gay, liberal artist “I am educated” phenomenon that is spreading like a virus through NYC. Unfortunately, there is no AZT or aciclovir to control it. It festers and grows and drinks lots of coffee in non-corporate smug houses.

If you had half the education or intelligence you think you do, you would get a real profession and contribute rather than live off a trust fund, rub poop on canvas and call it art.

Seriously though, these topics are getting kind of week. However I must say that the sad leftoids who wear the P.L.O. scarves give me a little chuckle inside. Mind you if the P.L.O./ Intafada had it’s way all these Starbucks liberals would be beheaded on the streets of the “Village”. And realistically the only people who could defend you are people exactly like me. The irony is delicious. Lock and load!

I have to laugh at this… my sister was wearing a scarf this morning and I was wearing a hat… we were talking about how dumb we must look but it was so cold out… I guess she was ok because she had on the scarf!!

this is retarded, its like, “hey, look at me, i’m chris rock without the whole ‘funny’ thing he had going”. what if i made a blog called “things black people like” and it talked about fried chicken, watermelon, kool aide, sleeping all day, gang warfare, being poor, and wearing ugly baggy clothing – would that offend you? yeah, it would, so fuck off.

I don’t know what exactly it is about scarfs for the general public – whether it is to show support to Middle Eastern culture by wearing the keffiyeh or whatever reason conjured, but I know that as a singer I have many scarfs and wear them to keep my vocal chords warm. Maybe these white female non-musicians just want to look the part!!

Nevertheless, it is a little confusing to look outside and see white people wearing scarfs and shorts (to their defense, I rarely see wool scarfs in warm weather; usually it is a lighter material–except for those who try too hard)!

You must do a posting about “Princess Bride”, its a classic stable white person movie. Its not only funny, but it has a good love story, plus good violence! and it has fred savage from the wonder years, and white people LOVE THE WONDER YEARS! so there you have it, actually 2 posts in 1 so….your welcome..

Did you really burst out laughing? The topic is humorous, I agree. But it’s not quite funny enough to burst out laughing about. The thought of people punting chickens around the slaughter house like footballs, now that’s burst out laughing stuff right there boy. Isn’t that odd? The really funny stuff almost always involves things that, if one thinks about them rationally, are not at all funny. Funny how that works. Still, feathery football flying through the air cackling away. . . 🙂

Would Keifer wear a keffiyeh? wtf? a lil scarf goes a long way. I hate em won’t wear em. save a tampon use a scarf re: “mo”‘s longass bodily fluid tangent. how about usin water from the east river to douche with? ain’t got nothing on massingel.

I thought white people loved scarves because the French wore them so fashionably. And as we know, white people, especially in America, love the French, especially making sure their kids learn French. Quelle Chance!

I haven’t heard such bigotry since Hitler. I suppose you’re one of those people who thinks that he wasn’t responsible for killing millions of innocent people, and that astronauts didn’t land on the moon.

Oh how very true my good man. Huzzah to you sir. I often sport a scarf when I’m doing out of doors activities. Sure some people at the cross burning give me the sink-eye but I can’t risk catching a chill. I also can be seen wearing one in the board room or at high society dinners. You see because I sooo white. you get it (guffaw, gaffaw!). Smashing my good man. Smashsing old boy!

scarves are very useful items of clothing. they keep the chill out and i would go so far as to say crucial in a cruel wind- listen to your mother!

my boyfriend hates scarves cos he thinks they make him look “flouncy”. i think this is the issue at the core of your post. flouncyness and yeah wearing other culture’s traditional clothing as a stupid fashion.

is it more “manly” and less white to just wear the bally suit and tie into the jungle by jove? you think we should just wear the one thing all the time?cold weather is no joke, be thankful of those handknitted scarves gentlemen or may you rot in the special circle of hell reserved for men who don’t appreciate womens craft.

It is starting to be slightly pathetic how much this blog mirrors my life. I was very proud of the beautiful silk Indian scarf I wore with my outfit today… and yes, I have New Balance running shoes in the closet… and I do have (a few) sleeveless vests… and I love Wes Anderson flicks… and I drink tea nonstop… the list goes on. Am I really that predictable?

Just think, even 50 years ago, people had more things to fill their time. Now, pseudo-intellectual glory hole queens, have to type random crap to make themselves feel smart, and funny, and correct and cool. Less internet, and do something truly productive. By the way, only hipster hippy want-a be’s wear New Balance because it seems more green. Even as satire, its an absurd argument. Hay, how about a blog about how white people, breath air differently, or how we feel better because we beat the sickle cell wrap, or have lower rates of heart disease.

the whole point of this blog is not actually to make fun of all white people, but just to poke fun at the certain type who aim to be hip. i’m white, and i’m okay with it, but i also feel better about having a lower rate of heart disease, so, y’know.

Scarves are kind of a bland choice. White people wear scarves, clickkety clack clack. They serve a better function than neckties. What are neckties for? They cost a shitload of money and they. do. nothing.

AH…CLANDER’S BACK – after a few weeks of sub-par or absent posts, he’s got a gem here. Fucking hilarious. I’ve come down hard on my white friends here in Hawaii – mostly white super-leftist chicks, wearing fucking camisoles or tank tops and scratchy woolen scarves – almost as silly as the fucking knit caps – but at least the caps are a bit more practical for covering up awful hair cuts.

Scarves should be banned when not cold- especially on boys – looking so terribly effete and desparate for attention.

the “scarves” you’re referring to help support self-conscious, NOT politically conscious, white people who usually have limited and simplistic knowledge of anything that’s going on in Palestine.

Really, come ON – it’s a fucking self-bestowed overt expression of desparation for white people who lack any palpable culture in their own lives, needing to bond with like-minded lost souls. Nothing SCREAMS quite as well as a misplaced scarf – “I am a white, awkward, culturally bereft upper-middle class anthropology major living off of daddy’s credit card immersed in white guilt desparately looking to be gorilla-fucked by someone, ANYONE of a different race so I can absolve myself of the sins of my ancestors…oh I SO hate my world of privelige…now let’s buy some organic goji berries…”

Ah. I wasnt aware of those nuances. Over here you only see the black & white scarf. I don’t think anybody over here has an interest in Arabian Gulf Arabs.
In either way those scarf are hideous and very unfashionable. They are only worn as a political statement.

Urban Outfitters discontinued their Kefiyahs because Israeli/Jewish activist groups started throwing a fit about them selling them. About how they’re something that Palestinians wore, and therefore the people wearing/buying them were Pro-Palestine, which makes them suicide bomber supporters, and anti-Israeli/Semitic.. 🙂

How about that?

Gotta love America, eh?

You can’t imagine how much that pissed me off.

What happened to freedom of expression?
Also, A KEFIYAH=/= TERRORISM/TERRORIST!!!!
A kefiyah is not a friggin’ Swastika!!! And it’s sad that that is what some people see it as! ;/

It’s a traditional cultural clothing article!
People should grow the f*** up.

Whats even more dumb is the fact that most of the kids wearing them, only do it because it’s the hip thing to do.
They don’t give a shit about the politics 🙂

If anything, Arabs should have asked for it to be discontinued because of how it has been made in to a fashion accessory, for people who for the most part don’t know anything about the culture, region, people..etc.

Question everything huh? How about your own assumptions about why and how people end up in jail. If only those political prisoners had consulted you first about “not doing something that will “get you in a jam”. I think a few Buddists have been thrown in locked-down to, if Tibet is any indication. Your an idiot, Question Everything.

I’m surprised Kefiyahs didn’t become MORE popular after Urban Outfitters discontinued them. You’d think teenagers would start wearing them on their f-ing heads at that point. Since when can the Jewish lobby tell kids how to dress? Unless it’s headed by Stacy London, that is.

the scarves are just pretty, and geometric. We would wear more indian scarves, but they tend to be silk and very light weight, and almost to colorful, so they defeat the purpose of “staying warm” when wearing a scarf. we dont like scarves from the gap or corporate chains, plus they arent authentic, middle eastern scarves are. Its like owning a peice of pottery from 1800s china that wasnt made for export but was made for everyday use. Its all about being authentic. Im just waiting for white people to start wearing brightly colored beaded neck extenders, or maybe a burka.

I love white people! I think your culture adds so much to enrich the world. This site, and others like it, (if such sites as “Stuff Asians Like” and “Stuff Black People Enjoy” exist) show just how funny and diverse people are, and how much there is to learn and appreciate about everyone.

I often wear a scarf with just a blazer, I also have a beard, it is a good look when one wants to rape a coed. My good friend Sir John Forbes Kerry likes to sport a scarf when on the prowl for a rich widow. It works!

Damn you all need something else to think about. Anyone out there think that the white people are trying too hard? AHEM!!! I find it amusing that white supremacist’s and jewish people are fighting amongst themselves over a few pieces of fiber around the neck. Which can also be used to clean up spooge in a quick turnabout.

Seriously, everyday you’re blog is making me feel less and less black and proud because I am queen of the keffiyeh, white American Apparel t-shirt, jeans no matter whether it’s rain, sleet, sun or snow. Come on, it’s a good look for all people!

no actually chinese, hindu too, I happen to own a very old chinese bowl with a backwards swastikas painted on the border, it was made in the late 1700s, really beautiful. hindu and buddhist religions i believe also used backwards swastikas. Since they are in similar parts of the world, I bet the symbol is quite older then the religions themselves, so it wouldnt be unthinkable for them to use it in pottery, statues, jewelry etc.

ofcourse its organic, dont you hate being so white?….in 2000 years archeologist are going to look at the white race and only find american apparel t-shirts, organic produce boxes, hybrid diamond lane stickers, and a bunch of modern furniture. Kids at school will laugh at how unoriginal white people were, but then i guess it doesnt matter, we will all be dead, but our apple macbooks shall remain, and we will feed them our knowledge of whitelyness……

Calling the poor/lower classes derogatory names is totally ok as long as those people are white poor/low class people–that is such a white thing. A majority of black people are Christians but you would never say “a majority of N—— believe in god… hence Compton and Oakland. You are sooooo white.

Fo’sho dave raskob. Most of the time I make a posting it’s first thing in the morning so cut me some slack on the grammatic errors. In addition I don’t have endless amounts of time to dick around on a computer as I’m not a coropate tool, code monkey or class defecting college bitch. I’m one of the hand full of genuine working class people on this site. You know one of those unwashed masses that you say you’re helping even though we never asked for it and don’t want it! Someday I’d like to see these white self righteous grammer nazi’s take a stroll around Compton or Boil Heights correcting there fellow oppressed humans with there helpful insights. It’d make Jones Town look like kindergarten.

If you’ve ever ventured to Paris, perhaps on study abroad, you’ll know that the scarf is an essential part of Parisian fashion so of course white people like them because white people like all things European and well Paris is one of those white spots we all love.

Sweet mother of milkballs I’ve got you all so whipped on whiteness. I’ve got a long red scarf that I received from my wife (who is from Eastern Europe), which she received from her father (my father-in-law), which was knitted for him by his sister, with whom he now rarely speaks.

The so, I’ve got a vintage scarf, handed down through my foreign wife’s family, that reminds us of family discord.

Clander (the jackass who writes “Stuff White People Like”), however, thinks it’s somehow trendy for white people to wear scarves. He further postulates that white people will wear scarves not only in defiance of prevailing fashion sense, but also of impending summertime weather. In other words, Clander says white people wear scarves all the time.

This is horridly incorrect–except, of course, you’re a redheaded Irish transplant living San Francisco like Christian Lander himself. In that case, scarves are mandatory. So are Priuses and New Balance shoes and all manner of communist dalliances prevalent in that Shining Sinkhole by the Sea.

In the rest of the world of white people, you don’t wear a scarf unless you’re a woman. I’ve yet to see a white person wearing a scarf, and I, too, live in California–just not the sinkhole part. Clander could’ve railed against the white people (specifically, white American) inclination towards wearing giant-lettered university sweatshirts, sports jerseys for teams halfway across the continent, or flags of foreign countries.

But he didn’t. Again, Clander wrote his latest blog entry the easy way: He looked at himself in the mirror, noticed he was wearing a scarf, and wrote that down.

God damn it, Clander.

At this point, I’ll offer a counter-claim to Clander’s latest communist creed:

Japanese people like scarves. They wear them all the time. In all circumstances, in all weather. In Japan, this is not considered gay. It’s normal.

In fact, Japanese men do many things that Americans would consider gay. They wear scarves, sip sake from tiny tea cups instead of plunging it into beer, and watch soccer–sometimes in person.

Let’s analyze the following photo. You’ll note that the two Japanese people are needlessly wearing scarves indoors. The white people in the photo are not wearing scarves.

Japan loves its freaking scarves. It also loves latching onto obscure American popular culture phenomena, like Nightmare Before Christmas. In a pinch, Japanese people will combine the two into an unholy union of sorts, as with these Nightmare Before Christmas scarves.

I saw an Asian woman at the mall the other day wearing jeans, a long sleeved shirt, and a yellow scarf. It was 60 degrees that day, so I questioned the need for the scarf. After looking again, I thought it was more for fashion than anything. I said to myself, “Wow, I’m going to adopt that look.” After reading this blog, maybe not.

This one coasts into the gas station on fumes. Note the careless shift in the dialog tone between the stiff pedant and the bimbo valley girl: “He does look smarter and more political than the other guys. He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive in general. You should totally date him.” Even if a constipated co-ed could frame such an improbably contrived observation, the concluding “totally” statement is just not in her “voice.”

hey, I’m a white people and I don’t like scarves… :-p I don’t think I’ve ever actually owned one. o.O;; Unfortunately, I have seen people wearing sweaters and shorts. >.>;; TACK-Y! You haven’t seen tacky until you’ve lived in the south… >.>;;;;

It’s not that it wouldn’t be funny, it’s that it’s already been done before and nobody likes to hear the same stories over and over again. But, in that case, it’s not even really a joke, it’s more of racism and stereotyping. That’s why it would be different.

Plus, I doubt you could keep enough blog entries going because most white people don’t even know what black people really like or why they like it anyway. Ever stop to ask a black person why they like fried chicken? I bet it would be the exact same reason why the majority of Americans, regardless of skincolor, like it too — it simply tastes awesome! Black people like good stuff – face it!

I think you just need to relax and go listen to NPR or something – that’s another thing white people like to do too for sure.

My biggest pet peeve ever is seeing a women/girl wearing a short mini skirt with BOOTS! Summer skirt & winter shoes just kill me. Now I know “White People’s body temperatures do not operate on logical or consistent levels” so I can cut them some slack I guess.

the propagandist at top was trying to somehow equate “rape victims” and “jews” which quite preposterous given that rape victims are innocent and jews are well-known zionists, racists, arab children killers, liberals, anti-White haters, anti-Christian bigots (more than even Muslims are), and we all know the history.

Thanks. Wolf Blitzer is the garden variety jewish supremacist. So is Dershowitz and the rest of the racists and bigots of that tribe.

All, I am saying is that if “the Keffiyah” was a liberal symbol directed at Whites, and not Jews, then THE JEWS WOULD BE WEARING IT. (in addition to producing, distributing, and selling them to every liberal around).

How can anyone deny that?

It is not bigotry to point out that Jews are Liberals when it comes to hating Whites, yet conservative and fascist when it comes to defending israel and their own race.

Urban Outfitters discontinued their Kefiyahs because Israeli – Jewish activist groups started throwing a fit about them selling them. About how they’re something that Palestinians wore, and therefore the people wearing – buying them were Pro-Palestine, which makes them suicide bomber supporters, and anti-Israeli

The “joke” of the entry on scarves smacks first of misdirection moving through stages of overreaching and finally sinking into irrelevance. Lander bases his premise on the odd assertion that controlling body temperature is problematic for white people combined with the obvious fact that scarves have been worn for centuries to protect the neck and parts of the face from cold.

The other obvious “fact” about scarves, ignored at the outset, is that a scarf serves also -even mainly today- as a fashion accessory garment. The humor emerges contingently if the reader buys into the obtuse observation that a woman may be seen adorned with a scarf when, “hey, it isn’t cold, aren’t you hot in that thing.?” (“No, I’m not hot. It’s the fashion, stupid!”)

Admittedly, we would find amusement in the rare sight of a person wrapped in a heavy wool scarf on a scorching day in summer. (Few people wear scarves of any type in summer). But this is a ludicrous parody of the diverse decorative types of scarves which may be woven or knitted from light-weight cotton and paper-thin silk and worn on diverse occasions.

Of course, white women (and men) tend to accessorize outfits more than other groups with scarves notably those which incorporate stylish colors and patterns, but so what.? White women tend to wear stylish pant suits more frequently than minority women also – but where is the humor?

Lander tries to compensate for the failed humor of the original joke by posing two co-ed chicks in dialogue over some hot guy they spy wearing a keffiyeh. This struck me as a curiously irrelevant digression from his initial satirical treatment of the topic. Perhaps Lander could devote an entire entry to how whites like to appear fetchingly-attired, ethnically hip and “political” by wearing keffiyehs.

Lander should bring back the funny animated white people from some of his earlier posts -Prius, Dinner Parties,
Difficult Breakups, Bottled Water, Et.Al.. Simply “naming” something that ostensibly white people like then laboring to contrive some far-fetched humorous connection to it falls flat.

They don’t seem to mind swimming pools, just bodies of water that are not clear enough to see the bottom of. I don’t blame them. Some of their ancestors were eaten by crocks and piranha, (sp?) for crying out loud!
Many of my relatives are the same way. We’re Scot, so I think they fear the Loche Ness Monster may now reside in the Mississippi River.

I have black neighbors I could ask and probably get quite a list. I’m not asking D. the firefighter next door, though. I suspect one of his answers would be “When the weird white chick next door flashes her boobs!” I am that weird white chick!

totally, with the same people….but i think they made a movie of their highschool years or something, it was like a made for tv movie, and i remember it being awful….it had totally different people in it..so…

This MUST be a Jewish site if, in every single topic (yes, I counted), the word “Jew” appears at least once in the comments section. Not to take away from the rabid racism all around, it’s just I only counted the “Jew” remarks so far.

We surely all remember that Isadora Duncan died in Nice France in 1927 when her long scarf became tangled in the wheels of a car (More open like a motorcycle) breaking her neck. The iconic free spirit of modern dance died fully accesorized in the fashion rage of the day throwing her lovely head back, hair flowing in the wind, and just laughing until…
Awk! Snap! Guess we’re all just one little jerk away from Jesus. Amen.

White people like skipping showers. You haven’t written that one. Sometimes they go camping just to skip showers (conserving water) for days, and expect me to do the same. Emmm, no, that’s not what my mother taught me. I just don’t understand how they go out in public daily without washing their butts first.

i would say monogramming would be, but then i thought about it, and only east coast white people do that, and italians from jersey do that…so no….but i do love monogramming, i have monogrammed towels and pillow cases, but thats as far as i go…

It kind of seems destroyed, that’s why the Pope was here trying to bolster it up. Looser Pope and looser George W. got together to form Losers of the World and we are still in Iraq trying to finish what the Catholics starts 1200 years ago.
……..white person with a brain wave problem

Does anyone notice how supportive and effusive in praise chicks tend to be about Lander and his project with cuddly little kiss-me-you-fool Happy Faces posted in the text?

Gender difference theory demonstrates that (many) women are biologically attracted to men they perceive to be potentially successful partners and upwardly mobile family providers.

(Many) women are also inclined to mother and nurture a person for whom they have affection, especially a man who seems to be on the path to achievement. The biological female instinct dictates a reflexive supportive response which renounces negative impulses; and a defensive response when “her” child is subject to any criticism.

Lander with his book deal and perhaps lucrative career as a popular humorist is a perfect fit for both breadwinner and good son.

Given your inclination to post long winded entries and the frequency with which you do it, I’m going to say you have neither a lucrative career or a huge cock. Unless, say you have a huge cock in your pontificating ass.

Wearing a scarf when it’s freakin’ cold outside makes sense, but these idiots wear them all the damned time, cold or not. My favorite clothing combination to hate is scarf, tank top, sweatpants that say “Victoria’s Secret PINK” on the ass, and flip flops – hair in a messy bun (required-as this looks as though you made no effort but are still SO CUTE!). Oh, add an orange tanning salon tan to that and your look is complete! And I swear these people are everywhere and they all look the same. I’m gettin’ pissed just thinking about it.

what a zionist load of bullshit… all this scarf is, is a keffiyah you racist. it’s worn by arabs, kurds and other ethnic groups in the region. it’s tradition. and also…let’s hope alot of these yuppies show up at the UN this year for the 60 year anniversary of Naqba, and support Palestine and the indigenous people (both Hebrew and Arab) who were massacred for the European agenda.

And this November, while a quarter-billion Moose-limbs are warming up the ovens for another run at a Judenfreiwelt, millions of American Jews will march into poling booths and vote for a schwartzer named Hussein.

Junkster: If women are attracted to your huge throbbing cock, why are you wasting time hanging around this dump and reading all this shit from hopeless losers? You should be out in your Prius, prowling for chicks and giving prime pussy the stallion ride it deserves. Fuck now while the cock is throbbing and the sun is shining. They’ll be plenty of time to read my papal bullshit later when the rains come. Carpe Diem..and by the way, Junkster, I forgive you not because it’s the right thing to do but because His White Holiness must occasionally deign to confer mercy on his unworthy servants.

I’m to tired to read all posts. So maybe someone pointed it out: scarves are good to have in case the sun is shining and you forgot your sunblock. White people burn easy. It acts as a shield when you layer it over your shoulders. It also can be used on your head to protect very expensive highlights made to look like “sun-kissed” hair by gay hairdresser. White people like to make it difficult for themselves.

I thought it was just for fashion and this extreme verge to be different….. while the latter is true (although I’m not sure how true since nearly every white person participates in this year round scarf wear), I’m glad to know that it actually has physiological benefits….so they say!

Could anyone unnecessarily use adverbs like “hypothetically” to modify “imagine” while fellating themselves on how Smart They Are regarding the Random Collection of facts They Somehow String Together and randomly Capitalize to give the appearance of a Relationship?

Portnoy would be today’s Nathan Bedford Forrest, yet while he also cannot get through a sentence without a strange or plain embarrassing grammatical error, he doesn’t seem to be as willing to give up.

Totally true – I have worn scarves as tops; on dates; to stand out at public areas full of white people (though I am not one) so my friends can find me; and in place of parkas on cold winter evenings. The possibilities are limitless.

I read something a while back that included a scarf count for the show The Gilmore Girls. I have done a brief search to try to find it again, and though this is not what I read then, it also includes a scarf count.

From “Television Without Pity”

>>I’m going to back this episode up and do a quick Scarf Count up to now, because there is an amazing scarf budget on this show. Let me count, hold on. There were no scarves in the funeral or the band scene. But in just the last scene alone, there were eighteen scarves.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. TV EXAMPLE, OR EVIDENCE, RATHER. (THIS ALSO HAPPENS TO COINCIDE WITH THE NEXT POST.)

My Co-Worker Katie S. wears scarves every day regardless of temp and whatever else she is wearing. She has about 30 and we call them capes. She compliments the capes with $5 sunglasses. I heard she once wore a cape while waterskiing.

Ha! Very true. I am occasionally guilty of wearing a scarf when it’s not really neccesary to keep your neck extra warm.

I’m currently on the beach in Peru where it is very very hot out.. most of the whities here have awful awful sunburns. The day after I read this post I spotted a girl leaving the hotel heading down to the beach wearing short shorts, tank top, sandals, sunglasses, and.. a scarf!! Hilarious. I thought she would’ve learned her lesson but I saw her again this morning heading to the beach wearing the scarf once again..

I confess–I wore a scarf and a t-shirt today, and thought I looked awesome. I actually purchased this scarf last weekend on a 75 degree day with the intention of wearing it in warm weather. I’m super white.

I thought this stuff was supposed to be funny! Why is everyone so pissed off? I am an older (relatively….54) white person who recognizes myself in quite a few posts and I just laugh. I’d like to wear scarves but I always feel overdressed and costume-y in them, even though i like how they look on other white people and also other types… Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay and any combo of the above. I do love dogs, vintage things, but I don’t like coffee,(not even fair trade) generally don’t like Ivy Leaguers, and most especially dislike religions…. ALL of them, not just my parents. I hope all you smarty pants don’t correct my grammar, spelling and general lack of cleverness. I’ve never made a comment on any blog or whatever so be kind. P. S. I don’t think John McCain is insane either. I think he’s a real guy.

It’s important that it’s corrected. I recently read a paper where someone actually wrote “vise versus” instead of vice versa.

It’s just really pathetic when someone tries to be cute (like the “white people are plum funny guy” or smart like the “vise versus” kid and they don’t even know how to write or have enough of a grasp of the language they’re trying to be witty in.

Oh My God, that is sooo funny. My friend told me about this site and just today I eventually checked it out. You’re brilliant. Favourite line: “Oh yeah, you’re right. He does look smarter and more political than the other guys. He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive in general. You should totally date him.”

Gee-SUS you’re kidding me – I’m from Canada and I remember vacationing in LA in January and walking around wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops and being amazed by all the scarves out on a 17C day!
You’d think Californians cease to exist outside of exactly 21C… (75F)

I enjoyed all of these blogs. I have been in Iraq for a long time now and still awaiting my time to get the “beep” out of here. I haven’t laughed this hard since I was back home and watched a pizza guy dodge a car in the middle of the road. Thanks for the laughs! I’ll check this out again tmr. It will take me two days just to relocate where I left off at.

I think the comment about white people wearing the same thing is hysterical… but I think the Polo shirt with the collar popped would have worked better.

Although, if you are going to talk about a race that dresses the same it would have to be black people. I swear they send out a memo each month of what they are supposed to wear. First it was the oversized long white t-shirt, baggy jeans below their ass, and a piece of large scrap metal hanging from their necks. Now it’s the football jersey, baggy jeans below their ass, and a piece of large scrap metal hanging from their necks. Oh yea, and the hat which is a couple sizes too big for their heads with the brim completely flat, and they all seem to forget to peel the store’s sticker off of it.

hey!
leave the jews alone, “and we all know the history” <– you thinking WWII?!? cos if you are, i can’t see a reason to pick on jews…
does religion matter after all?
why do we put people in little labled boxes.
the only thing it helps is to make us more racist.
i am not supporting that!
i wear a Keffiyeh because it is cozy, not because i support anything.
if you are a christian and that is what this is all about then:

I frequently wear pajama pants with uggs, a tank top, and a scarf. I make sure that my died blonde hair is very messy, as if I just got out of bed, even though I have a ridiculous amount of makeup on. Irrational? Awesome.

well, i was thinking how the comments went from talking about scarves to badmouthing mideasterners. hatred of scarves i can understand – they’re uncomfortable, although they do help keep you warm in a cold midwestern winter!

Well, they’re referring to how knockoffs of traditional arab scarves-like the one in the picture in this post, have become a fad lately among hipsters, being sold at urban outfitters and some celebrities like kirsten durnst have been seen wearing them.
Though I definitely agree with you, the level of hatred is really gross and depressing. But this blog has been attracting right wing reactionary commenters for quite a while.

Though ironically enough knockoff keffiyehs are worn by the US armed forces as well.

indoor use of scarves began around 95 or 96 as i recall… during my 7th-8th school years. After the nationwide parental shock of “KIDS,” and the DEA crackdown on raves, the disappearance of XXL raver attire and paraphenalia put youth culture at a crossroads: men could go tommy or polo or ralph (this goes for white and nonwhite). they could do go with skater brands, or some cocktail of jerseys and fatigues and carhardt gear; for women the choice was more stark: 1) 60s-70s retro 2) cutsie conservative as seen in the catalogue “delia’s” or the (Clinton era) rise of “urban outfitters”.

THIS IS WHERE THE SCARVES COME IN…

back then it was still a girl’s perogative–and most of the scarving girls had eating disorders… the slinkyness/wispyness of the scarf expressed their caprice and invulnerability to worldly phenomena like gravity and ovulation.

that the rotund, male and female, partake of scarves these days could be seen as PROGRESS–civilization’s itinerary having about as purposeful a direction as a chimp with onstar–but i believe it is a bleeding/blending of concepts: alongside female anorexia is the belief that skinny bodies harbor brilliant minds. that large women are stupid breeders. their adipose tissue becomes useful grips and footholds for their braying brood and loutish husbands to clutch hold of. being smart, salaried, and cosmopolitan also means skinny, and the flag that the initiate wave is the scarf (Dr. Who-ish, Bolshevik-ish, SanFran Springtime, Praugue Atumn, Parisian winter, or just plain old new england wasp).

i dont know what to make of the 21st century’s thermodynamic schizophrenia.

i think the t-shirt plus scarf is probably a mean-spirited prank perpetrated by fashion thinktanks. have some dour latvian boy and demure romanian girl sport it on the cover of a magazine of note, and see if people actually fall for it.

San Francisco is the place for white people to wear scarves. Sam Clemens said,” The coldest winter I spent was a summer in SF.” You would probably expire from heat prostation in cities like Boston or Atlanta wearing a scraf in July or August. Not here, it’s a must have.

You don’t get it, do you? When Arabs wear a kafiyah, it’s tradition. When white people wear it, it’s a show of political support for the PLO.

I just can’t remember the last time I saw a native, white New-Englander wearing a kafiyah as part of their culture… No, it always seems to be some leftard statement in support of a Palestinian cause that said white leftards scarcely understand.

You’re kind of a stupid person, Portnoy. Even if the things you’re saying were true it would STILL be pointless to throw them up on this site where people are just trying to have a laugh. Either hang up your politics at the door or kindly shove them up your ass. And that applies to EVERYBODY here, not just the bigots and idiots.

Rachael Ray’s fashion sense can best be described as Mom Jeans meets bottom-of-th-barrel TJ Maxx. So when she showed up in a Dunkin’ Donuts ad sporting a black and white keffiyeh, it was perhaps understandable that there’d be some sort of confusion. Had America’s favorite midget chef suddenly ditched the mall and headed to Urban Outfitters in the throes of some kind of hipster fit? Michelle Malkin fumed, and not because she thought it looked retarded. The scarf, said Malkin, “has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,” instead of, you know, Yummo! donuts and overly sweetened iced lattes.

Earlier this week, the coffee chain took the ad in question out of circulation, claiming it never intended any jihadist “symbolism.” But while conspiracy theorists remain skeptical (Would you like an explosive belt with that Coolata?), there’s buzz from some corners that suggests Dunkin’ Donuts’ actions were ill-advised.

This morning on The View, Whoopi Goldberg claimed that the scarf also looked like a fashionable version of the Jewish prayer shawl, and that pulling the ad could be perceived as an anti-Jewish act.

We say, let Ray have her keffiyeh. If the Rachael Ray terrorist chic look was loosed on the wider world, the posers of Bushwick and Silver Lake might finally reject this semi-annoying fashion trend. If the perky chef is wearing them, they’re surely, finally, thankfully over. (Take note, Olsen twins).

I hope there would be a list on how boring white people are because while I understand they are not aware of this, they are so unbelievably boring someone has to tell them. 99% of their jokes fall flat. They get drunk a little to quickly, in my opinion, and slobber around attempting to ruin the mood until they are rightfully ignored. I try my best to wiggle out of any social activities with white people, which is hard sometimes since my fiance is white and brought his whole gaggle of white friends with him into my life. It is hard sometimes!

save a tampon wear a scarf? ever hear of toxic shock syndrome? I know someone that used to work in a medical clinic on an indian reservation and a woman came in with the symptoms — after examining her they found a tube sock shoved up her hoohoo (euphemism used for our under aged readers). scarf/ sock/keffiyeh/opera glove (now THAT’S white!) replacing a tampon not such a good idea

I was just saying to my kids the other day, in that snide way I have, “what is with all these people wearing scarves simply as ascessories (SP?) ?”
I’m so opinionated, Lord forgive me.
I’m really starting to believe I’m not “really White” after all- behind this college degree and IQ higher than Al Gore’s I think I might actually be – Shhh… a redneck!(whatever that is)

Interesting concept. I never really thought about it but it strikes me as a universal truth. White people (and those that aspire to be) are homeothermically challenged. I also notice that because they are xenocentric that they choose scarves that clearly show their xenocentrism as in the case of the photo above or the recently pulled Rachael Ray “Got Milk” ad. But with a war in the desert it turns out that the Kefiyah this season is the new black.

Thank you for this article! I am so glad someone finally addresses the issue of white people wearing the keffiyeh! I’ve been seeing in all over NYC in the last year, and it just bothers and disturbs me (and I’m a white person, so it’s not for religious/racial reasons, I’m bothered for fashion reasons). I just want to go up to anyone wearing one, shake them and say “who told you that this looked good?” wtf is up with this trend? can someone PLEASE explain it to me?

Although it does increase the visual pleasure when someone goes down on the ice wearing one. There’s more debris when a white NY woman goes down in the winter then a motorcycle accident. Coach purse, Starbuck’s reusable mug, Ipod, laptop bag, and a billowing scarf flowing outward in all different directions…

The only time I wear a scarf is when the temp gets below 35 degrees F. I have cardiac problems, and cannot breathe if the air is too cold. Yes, I could wear a mask, but, a scarf just looks better. Please, keep me in mind the next time you see a person with a scarf on in the cold weather. We may be doing this to survive.

wow, i was walking in nyc last week when the temp was in the 80s and soo humid, and as soon as i got out of the subway i ran into this girl wearing capris and tank top with a SCARF – not a light summery one, a thick, big winter scarf with a knot around the neck!! i was like huh?? it was just so odd to me, but this explains it all!

My friends and I actually had a hilarious discussion just the other day about people who wear shorts with a sweat shirt (which all happen to be white people)!! We were confused but your explanation (“White People’s body temperatures do not operate on logical or consistent levels…”) has answered it all. Thank you!

Thank you, so much, for explaining why White people wear a performance vest with their arms left uncovered; or shorts with a sweater. I have wondered about this for years but was too embarrassed to ask.

I pretty much never wear a sacrf, but then I’m a guy. As for the shorts and hoodie thing, I do that like all the time, well from about 55-70, which in Southern England translates to a lot of the time, as it is 55+ from late March-early November, summers are normally 70-75, and we’re having the 2nd crappy summer in a row.
It is a comfortable combination, which I started wearing a lot because I bought my first hoodie in the summer. I think I have spread the fashion trend around college, as in the spring, early summer and early autumn a lot of guys tend to wear their hoodies with shorts.
I also walk a mile into lectures, and get hot walking, so I can take the hoodie off (trousers are harder to undo), then put back on again 20 mins or so later when I’m cold from sitting still.
I like a fresh air supply round my legs, but can’t work properly if my arms/ upper body are cold.

If you ask white people (who have a definite opinion on the matter), what is the best way to tie/wear a scarf, no two people will give you the same answer. They will, however, have a long and well thought out reason why their method is superior to all others.

Just like the Keffiyeh and scarves, white people love to wear items of clothing that resemble the clothing non-White people wear. Going abroad for travel is enough reason to buy a new ethnic wardrobe, i.e. a local style scarf, local pants, local backpacks, etc.

My white friends bought Guarani backpacks, straw and reed constructed things that the natives wear to carry their children and food up the mountains. Where do my friends wear them? To school-carrying their books. Keep in mind, these things look more like a slad on their back and anything small just falls out.

this keffiyeh trend has really taken off in joburg too.
even the jewish kids are wearing them.
try and confuse them by asking if they consider it cool to be pro-israel and wear a keffiyeh and their reply is “its just fashion”.
hmmm.

Wow. I can’t believe how ridiculous the comments for this post are. You’re site is funny. This post is funny. I wish folks could lighten up and see that. sheesh. I will continue to read – sans comments – they really put a damper on things.

Hey….I love this site and think it’s usually really dead-on, but I think the scarf thing doesn’t really seem that white to me…..you see lots of eths wearing them….am I wrong? I know the whites love to mix the other ethn-acessories….so they can show that they’ve been abroad (whites love Passport stamps!) but for some reason this just seems more hipster attirre that white-folk wear.

Quit bagging on white people. Sure we wear scarves when unnecessary but thats nothing compared to what the rest of what you minorities wear. Your fashion choices are beyond ridiculous, scarves in the summer don’t even compare to your ghetto ass fashion choices

I’m sorry, dear Sara… have you ever seen, hmm… possibly a Middle Eastern business man? They dress nicer than most white guys I know. Or perhaps an Asian? They have incredibly good taste in fashion. Stop bagging on minorities, because I’m sure your trashy ass thinks that Juicy Couture is classy.
Stop crying, and realize this blog is HUMOROUS and all in good fun. Get a grip and learn how to laugh at things.

i like scarves. anyone can wear them. not just white people. and by the way i am asian, so i don’t understand why people always pick on whites because they wear the same fashions as everyone. black people, especially girls, wear scarves. it’s just a scarf. so what?

Oh, I think we can admit it…when white people (of which I am one) wear scarves, we think we look European (not white American). And it is often totally illogical…I should know, it is an illness I suffer from. I found out this summer that a good friend is much more ill than I, however. We went out for drinks after work and she is sitting there in a shirt, pants (yeah, the usual surprise there), and a scarf. I said, what the hell? It is 4,000 degrees out…and she said, I know, I just felt so ugly today, so I grabbed a scarf on the way out. I had to break it to her that she didn’t pull off “pretty” with that wardrobe addition. Instead she had a “homeless chic” going on (you know, as in wearing everything you own no matter how uncomfortable).

“One popular example is the performance vest which solves the age old problem of cold chest hot arms”

Finally man. I’ve been preaching this for years. My mental is: show me a garment with sleeves and no torso and I’ll be impressed. My torso is never cold, when do I need an effin vest. Anyway, I accidentally invented such a garment… much to my surprise. It looks retarded but it’s 100x more practical than a North Face vest.

You may want to go back and read THE BIBLE again. Jesus was killed because his teaching went against the majority religion and politics that were being taught at the time.

Ask yourself. Why the Roman soldiers crucified HIM? Pontius Pilate was a Roman officer that was in control of that area of Rome. He had to make the decision to crucify HIM because the Jewish community had no power to make that decision. Not even King Herrod himself!!!! (who was Jewish).

Check your facts. Speaking before you think only make you look like an idiot as well as a RACIST.

I’ve never seen someone so Amero-centric. Most British or French people would say that these are things that almost everyone likes. Perhaps the blog could also work as “what French people like…” Once again I have to say that the author has never been to South Carolina.

No way dude!! I’M from South Carolina and now go to school in Chicago. Tis very true that this list doesn’t apply to white rednecks. In fact, by all accounts and purposes, I’m more “white” than everyone I left back home. And I’m Asian!!

Yes, now I know. I am white. I like sweaters AND I like scarves. I like everything that keeps me warm, actually. It is now a fact, so next time I get one of those surveys where you should fill in race and I have to go with “other” because they only list strange things and not human, I know that it is white that I should fill in. On the other hand I have been told that I fit in under other labels too… What to do, what to do… 😉

To however gives a shit about this:
I don’t think keffiyehs are cool anymore. Since I’ve seen more “mainstream” people wearing them and less “alternative” people wearing them. I’m actually kind of pissed because I really liked them.

Lol, don’t you know? White people only ever get cold in one part of their bodies! It explains the ugly furry boots paired with short-shorts and tank tops, as well as Northface jackets with short skirts and sandals.

Yes, I’m white. This is actually pretty funny.

But it bothers me that if someone made a “stuff black people like” website, people would start a riot. I’m just too sensitive, I guess.

why so defensive? it’s about time we claimed some of our own stereotypes, everybody else got ’em, why should we be so special? obviously there will be exceptions – why do you always need to try to prove the stereotypes wrong by being like “not me! i don’t wear scarves!” well obviously not ALL white people wear scarves. it’s just unusually common around us. stop taking yourselves so seriously…

and another thing — if you are white and you grew up in the u.s., you are inevitably racist to some extent. the first step to overcoming your racism is to admit that you have a problem.
denying it ain’t gonna do shit.

This whole keffiyeh (spelling?) trend pisses me off. I’ve seen racist people rock this type of scarf. I’m sure if they actually knew what it was, they wouldn’t wear it. Do people even know what it is, the history and heritage of it, before they put it on (and pay a bunch of money at Urban Outfitters) for it? I mean granted it looks fucking good on everybody, but that’s besides the point.

Most of the people I have seen wearing scarfs are hipsters. That includes allllll races. It’s not about race but about class! No matter what race you are, if you are upper class you will probably be wearing whatever is the latest style, especially if you can afford it. If you are lower class …well you get the gist. I’m sick and tired of people using race as an excuse when it’s about CLASS people!!!!

For me the value of this blog is not in the stupid list every entry of which can be argued, but rather in the responses it gets.
If I had relied on the list I really would not have understood American white people, but after having read these long winded, extra-analytical discussions which take things so seriously, I am now beginning to understand.
White people seem to just not be comfortable with themselves, and so need to be extra about everything, and take things too far one way or the other.
It’s a luxury.
And this answers my question of why white people never really related to me. Even in mostly white settings, even when I was more than willing to make white friends, it is always the only black person there who I wind up being on good terms with.
The white habits are just too annoying.

the american apparel joke is too good! and respect for mentioning the keffiyeh! too many people dont understand what they’re representing! i liken it to wearing a che guevara t shirt and not knowing who he is, alternatively wearing a che guevara tshirt that says “I don’t know who this is”, that should be something white people like too

Well, this is a funny peice of writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am african american and I love scarves. But I concede your point…and I can’t believe people are actually offended by this. It is clearly merely a funny peice of writing. People should really lighten up. Must be low self-esteem…or just mere ignorance. I heard it is bliss…alas, I’ll never know….ta-ta!

Just wondering what a keffiyeh represents? I’m somebody who grew up in the middle east and wore one to school everyday(we call it shumagh though), not around my neck like in the picture. We carefullu iron and starch it and wear it on our heads.
There are fancy brand names and cheaper ones and it’s the same as kids talking about who got Jordans and who came to school in Adiddas here in the US.
People here think it’s some kind of political statement but it’s really not, not in the peninsulae anyway. It’s just traditional, especially if you come from a tribe.
Maybe just in Palestine where they wear that black and white one and associate it with rock throwing, but in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait you can be of any religious or political or non-political leaning and have on a shumagh. It’s like wearing a tie to a bussiness meeting, or for the younger generation, they have fads of which way you wear it nd what expensive latest mark came out to be cool.
It doesn’t represent anything.

I don’t know if this is a white person thing or just what is is fashion. I am Hispanic and go to a school where the population is 65% Black, but there are a lot more black people wearing scarves than white people at my high school. I wear scarves all the time and I actually did this before they were in style, but that’s because my brother, who travels, got me a some beautiful ones from Israel last year. I don;t know if polar fleece is on your list but it definitely should be because white people LOVE it where I live.

racist?? are u a fuckin idiot?!? hes saying this is racist for saying only white ppl are into scarves when that is not the case. not only are you a dumbass, but also a racist yourself for saying white ppl are infatuated with scarves. If i say mexicans fuckin love lowriders, that must not be racist due to your logic, right? next time just shut the fuck up and stick ur head back up ur ass

calling someone a racist is implying that yourself are not. yet you make a broad assumption about white people in general, obviously with no real knowledge of them. calling someone racist is also implying that you are considerate of others, unlike the person you are accusing of racism. yet, again, you come out with demands to shut up and accusations. how glad blacks must be to have you represent them.

This shit is hillarious. I’m black and have friends from different races. We like to clown on each other using stereotypes and it’s funny how we always seem to easily find something for the white folk in the crew. The scarf is definitely one. Who ever wrote this is a genius. The sweater in winter with the shorts is true too. Usually whenever I see a white person wearing sweatshirts or hoodies wit shorts, I always see the flip flops and it’s always in the damn snow. Hey white folk just accept that you do do odd things at times. For all you saying I’m racist, I’m not, I’m just sayin stereotypes and generalizations are true at times. Shit I like grape soda. Take the poles out your ass and just laugh at the ways your ppl do the dumbest things at times. I do.

Although i do see the humour here, this is undeniably American. Your class divisions are so “colour coded”, it’s a little sad to see you all pigeon hole yourselves into race-based categorisations. Such an attitude doesn’t really apply to Europe in my experience, but then again we don’t segregate our society the way you do. The people in the above picture is a Bourgeois-Bohemian, a kind of fad-driven, pseudo-romantic, middle-class person.

I like this website a lot, but I have to say this is kind of a weak point.
Scarves are a trend and you can pick any sort of trend from our history to joke about; overalls, bracelets, Hammerpants. Most trends are as unnecessary or illogical as scarves.
I don’t agree that this is only a white trend.

We are one of the few companies that focus on domestic development and production of fans products.We have a factory producing heat-transfering textile products,such as scarves,cushions,neck pillows and flags etc. Also,we design and order other fans products from different material,such as metal and plastic products.

All I have to say is “ouch”. I feel bad that, being an American, you think of me and my community that way. In fact, I feel like you are categorizing me because of where I come from; but I’m not going to go as far as saying that “all Europeans judge us Americans”. I’m simply saying you are; and isn’t that so much more pleasant than making rash generalizations?

Are you kidding me? Europe is, and has been historically, far more racist and class-organized than America. In the early 1900s, when people in Britain, Prussia, France, were all obsessing over aristocracy and nobility, America essentially had no such thing. France is also commonly accepted as one of the most racist nations in the world. Don’t even talk about Americans “pigeonholing” races and classes. In fact, Europe, not America, has been practically defined by its affinity for a veritable caste system. Idiot. Learn your own history before you get up on your high horse.

Yeah, and while you’re at it, white people can stop wearing dreadlocks too. Dreadlocks have nothing to do with white culture. Despite that stupid Mel Gibson movie (Braveheart), Celtic warriors did not have dreadlocks! That’s just revisionist history invented by white people who don’t want to feel bad about appropriating black culture.

As a white woman I have to question why today I have this obsession about finding the perfect scarf to go with the blazer I found at Goodwill. Here I am, who bought a $7 blazer psyched to spend up to $50 for the perfect scarf!

This is a silly site filled with generalizations. Not to mention by over classifying things as “white people things” it promotes stereotypes, prejudices, and racial discrimination just for the sake of some amateur humor. Grow up.

“Palestinians” referred to Jews and Arabs, who by the way, were allowed to stay on Jewish land once Israel was created (though encouraged by Arab leaders to lead/fight back/etc.). PALESTINE was never a country. It was a region. Arabs got their land when it was divided into a Jewish and Arab states; it’s called Jordan.

Any thing can become political, religious… name your uncomfortable topic. After reading a few, you have to start laughing at people. We are all doomed! We are so caught up in stupid crap, looking different, thinking different, believing different, killing each other, killing ourselves, all of us scurrying around on a tiny little speck in the universe, once we are extinct none of anything any of us has ever done will mean anything at all. We share the same basic chromosomes, we are all human ugg…I’m such a self righteous bitch!

P. S. It should be known that in my corner of the world anyone who is smart, or (or meaning a completely different thing) doesn’t speak Spanish is considered “white” including dark skinned people and people with “slanted” eyes. we are referred to collectively as Gringos.

Scarves are the summer scarf is the ultimate wank item. Pretension used to be carrying around an unready copy of Satre, non-prescription glasses and op-shop clothing, but the scarf is just so much more a versatile way to say “Look at me, I’m a tosser”.

It is June and like 95 degrees were I live and if you drive by the private college campus you will find at least half of the white-summer-school girls wearing shorts, tank tops, and scarves! sooo true LOL! I still dont get this statement…I guess it goes along with wearing Uggs in the spring and summer……

Scarves (or at least the earliest version of such a thing) originated in ancient Rome, and the earliest recognized appearance in Asia was in the Qin Dynasty in China, several hundred years after it’s appearance in Rome. Rome had a bit more influence on Western culture than Asian cultures do. And by a bit I mean a lot. Very much. Immeasurably so. Unless you want to argue Mesopotamia, but I think that you’re talking about East Asia. I’d actually say that Western culture has spread more to the East than vice versa (sadly, due in large part to militaristic and economic imperialism). A very funny website, I must say.

i’ll give it to you, it’s a catchy gimmic what have going but overall people wear what they want. if a “non white person” wears a scarf in the summer time while wearing shorts and walking their dog; are they acting like a “white person” because they’re wearing a scarf?

What’s next? Burkas are “in” for white non-Muslim women? SWPL must be thrilled about the French president Sarkozy and the government condemned burkas, veils or scarves on Muslim women, the symbol of “gender oppression” but it’s more like a sign of an Islamic culture not native to France. Women in scarves are a common fashion statement in Iran, where Nancy Pelosi traveled on a diplomatic visit last year and found it wonderful there is women’s rights in an Islamic theocratic state: wear a scarf or head back to the kitchen. +

LoL, also common in Turkey which is not a theocracy telling women what to wear. Scarves are just to cover the neck & may be the reverse of the “clevage getting lower” trend of two decades ago. How to get men from not looking there? A scarf…any women members care to tell us why you like to wear scarfs for…no reason? (shrugs)+

No sh*t sherlock (I mean Robin)…because discussing taboo topics and breaking them at the same time, like creating a whole blog on what “white people like” is comedy. Guess who loves to wear scarves? Fran Drescher, the famous comedian for her really “pro”-Semitic stereotypical nanny on the show “the Nanny”. Don’t we wish to work for, then get married to a wealthy WASP? Oy vey! +

Europe has a long bitter of nationalism, the historical events proceeding wars and dictatorships, involved a mass panic among locals against another “race”. The French national anthem La Marseille omitted a phrase “defend our selves from the evil foreign blood awash on our shores”, the Prussian public educators case of torture, spanking and ethnic slurs on Polish-speaking children and postal offices in France and Wales made it a national offense to write in an another language: “Welsh not”, “Interdit de Breton”, “No Irish please” and “speak white” served as a public warning. Also religions and churches were closely regulated by the governments where kings belonged to “state churches”, as well to belong to an ethnic minority was a liability such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks had a bloody ethnic rivalry centuries. +

I love it, he must be more sensitive overall. I am going to buy my brother-in-law a scarf to make sure he remains a sensitive guy. I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com and the only difference between rich people and white people is that rich people call them ascots!

Amazing. I’m not sure if white people are ripping off other cultures or if other cultures are ripping off white people. That said, I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com and maybe this all grew out of the ascot? Hmmmm!

Lol…i do love wearing scarves..ish..hate the knitted woolly type though and prefer the pashmina/shawl type..but if its snowman garb ..defo wooly and knitted …and made of two big white balls n no legs…white men cant jump either ..

yeah, you racist closed minded little bitch. Youre just jealous you dont look as good even with plastic surgery…so keep dreamin you cock faced whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!shes beautiful..dont be a hater you anorexic hoe bag!!!!!!!!

Yeah where did you get that picture? Is this blog exclusively white people or white people in America? Because if it is the latter, the picture most likely wasn’t taken in America, as her keffiyah seems fairly authentic (not allowed in the US).

Yeah i have a hard time figuring out which way to wear my scarves too. But I hardly wear them, and only when its cold out. I for one am always complaining “its hot in here.” I walk around all winter in shorts and T shirt so scarves puts it over the top for me.

Here’s the way all the local white college girls wear their scarves: hold it by the middle of the length, so there are two long dangling ends (but not equal halvsies, let one side be just a little longer). put the doubled-over fabric around the back of your neck, and draw the 2 fringed ends through the fold of the half-way point, like a loose choke collar. Position the fold/loose knot in front of your neck, and fluff the fabric to make it look like you want, and draw it up as tight as you need, according to the weather. When it’s cold, you can tuck those long ends into the front of your low-cut blouse until you get to the bar, and in warm weather, keep it loose and airy, baby!

I love your site. I’m such a big time white guy. I love pot, being a playboy with Sexy (not ugly) Asian Girls, travelling, hip hop, making people feel bad for not going outdoors, and basically everything you mentioned here. I also work for a wine distribution company (of all things!) called DT Asia in Beijing, China.
Also I’m French (don’t all white people LOVE the french and wish they could speak it?) and grew up as a multi-lingual child. I greatly enjoy being all International man of mystery, too.

as i understand it, white people not only like scarves, but also all things european and wearing a keffiyeh is not necessarily considered ok anymore in europe. it can create quite a distance between white people and the europeans that they wish to meet and impress with their hipness and worldliness.
specially with the people that like vintage, veganism/vegetarianism, ngo’s, bycicles, diversity and similiar things that white people like.
and besides the political controversy it can cause, it also makes you look like a little indie poseur that likes the band who’s song was featured in an ad NOT by apple. at least in europe.
wearing the american apparel scarf is the better choice. or the scarf that you bought at the flea market in paris.

all the white people wanting the author to address the fact that not all white people like these things are furthering their stereotypes. (#101) one must agree with these stereotypes to kill them, and this list is spot-on. i see scarves being worn all over the place. they look like damn fools.

yeah. scarves + a thin, white, v-neck tee + bra that can be seen through that tee + shorts + converse + ray-bans
wow! cool! coming from an entirely “white” school (97.3% white school, the other percentage is asian hipsters) its like the unofficial uniform…i however, do not partake. scarves are for winter coats.

Why call anything black or white? I thought we were all fighting to stop this racism. Do you want the rocks coming back at you? I agree with the article in that I don’t like the scarves, but can you leave the “white” out of it?

because THERE ARE blacks and whites and because they dress, talk, act…etc differently. This is what makes this world, great.
No one put any value on either, and this article seems to make fun of whites…

No, they wear scarves because bboys and other cool people do. The reason cool people started wearing scarves was because they elongate necks and help puff up a stylish bob on the days you can’t be bothered to tease up the crown of your head. I wear hoodies for the same reason.

I wear sweaters with shorts all the time. That’s what happens when you have plenty of muscle on your legs to keep them warm but less on your arms and torso to keep them warm. It’s no stranger than heavy sweatpants or jeans paired with a barely-there wife-beater. Just a matter of where people have extra insulation and where they get cold.

*I would like to note, however, that I can’t remember any time where I wore a scarf without a coat. I also can’t think of a time where I’d want a scarf but not a coat.

I am white and I wear scarves in the winter time when it’s freezing outdoors. Sometimes I’ll even wear scarves when it’s cold indoors. I have been known to wear my hat, coat, scarf, and gloves in the work place. If they’d jack up the heat, I wouldn’t have to dress like that.

I do have to admit though, that it’s a silly fashion statement unless people wear those light fabric, decorative scarves that I’ve seen all kinds of folk wearing or unless you live somewhere where the weather warrants wearing a scarf.

Ya, they like hot beverages when its hot out. You know, white people and they’re Coffee or that crazy White Tea. Wake up whitey, summer-time is warm already. They wear sunglasses in the in the dark at night to. The sun isn’t around after midnight whiteboy, plus Kanye has that on lock.

This white gift, made of laceweight alpaca runs roughly $16 per scarf. Save yourself the anguish and splurge for your own $5 set with mittens and a hat at the store. As for the ease of making them…well, have you ever tried to knit?

Whenever I see Old Navy’s winter line in commercials, they have the super happy/super skinny black guy bopping around with the white blonde in leotards and they’re both wearing SCARVES. That guy must be reading your blog posts on his laptop @ Starbucks every day 🙂

I’m a white girl. I wear scarves all the time so I don’t have to worry about my shirt underneath being too low cut or spilling something on myself. I like to think its my inner, bib-wearing, child coming out. Plus. If I’m wearing a scarf, and I need a quick disguise I can pull it over my face/hair and no one ever has to know….

i’m the whitest person on the face of this earth. anyone who wears a scarf is a retard. honestly. i cannot comprehend a single situation in which they are necessary, although i have lived in southern california my entire life. regardless, even if i was in -10 degree whether i would rather drag my balls through 10 feet of broken glass than wear a scarf. give a break. a scarf? wtf is this 1850? get a jacket for $10 at the thrift store that covers your neck and stop being a bitch

White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.

This article amuses me to no end. Back in my school days I used to be highly confused by the white girls in the wintertime when they would wear shorts with a sweater. My friends and I would ask them, why the hell don’t you just wear some pants if you’re cold, but they never gave me an answer that I was fully satisfied with. Now I understand completely. Thank you 🙂

I don’t understand the scarf thing. I own one. I’ve had it for two years but I’ve never worn it. I just don’t like stuff around my neck. I match about 60% of the list- I must not be a proper white girl *sigh*

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

I received my order today from http://www.nywholesalescarves.com . Everything was great. I was really happy with the quality of the dresses. I also want to thank for the really good customer service I have received from your company.

Yes, hipster scarves are douchey, but I have seen plenty of black hipsters, too. Furthermore, it you want to talk about problems with temperature regulation, black men have been wearing knit ski caps in 85+ degree weather for a lot longer than the douchebag hipsters have been wearing either scarves or ski caps.

i stopped on this website just becuase of the title. was looking forward to getting a giggle. well to my surprise the article disribing the good sence behind buying a scarf for a white persons gift was totally logical. the whole thing was in a small way ground breaking to me. what a fresh attitude. looking at a persons color from a scientific and conciderate point of view when gift shopping for them. then i began reading the comments. my mistake.

recently i lost all confidence in my fellow man do to a traumatic expirience of cruelty. you have all reinforced my new belief that there are no good people. just liers anf thieves waiting for every chance to take from thier brothers and sisters the things they dont want to work for and in some cases they dont even need. it was just there.

The Ultimate White Person’s Scarf.
1. It costs a lot to eat at NYC’s “’21’ Club”
2. It costs a fortune to be a “regular” at ‘21’
3. In the 1950s, “regulars” were given ‘21’ scarves as Christmas presents (they were never for sale).
Therefore, wearing a ‘21’ scarf says you’ve got money, a lot of money, and you’ve had it for a long time.

Are you shitting me with this website/blog? How about things N****** wear or say or do, that make white people hate them. Sounds racist and horrendous, right?
Time to start protesting and throwing rocks at BLM rallies.
This site should be summarily shut down due to ignornance and stupidity. RACIST as hell! Fuck you!
